AC/DC Vocalist Brian Johnson Opens Up About Fallen Band Mate Malcolm Young

Rhythm guitarist and founding AC/DC member Malcolm Young sadly passed away from Dementia, lung cancer, a heart condition, etc. this past weekend. It was a very somber occasion indeed. Among all of the heartfelt statements given about the rock n' roll pioneer, his former band mate vocalist Brian Johnson has just now given a statement on his feelings toward him.

In his first interview with Rolling Stone in two years, he among other things said about Malcolm:

"Malcolm never missed a trick. He paid attention to everything. Onstage he was always watching, taking in things and making sure it wouldn't happen again if he didn't like the look of some lights or something. ... Malcolm gave rock 'n' roll a fist. He'd give it a kick in the ass."

It's definitely a touching thing to see Johnson say so many kind things about his former band mate. They really seemed to develop a real familial bond over the years that even the two of them no longer being in AC/DC together could break. I kind of understand that myself because I've experienced some similar stuff. Some times a relationship will transcend working together in a band to something greater.

Writer's Moment:

Just so you're not wondering why I dropped off the face of the planet, I am going to be taking the whole Thanksgiving weekend off to relax and spend time with my loved ones. Business as usual will resume on Monday. I hope those of you also celebrating have an excellent time doing the same and remember all of the good things you have in life even among the storms of crap that hit you in the face every day.
